Disabling Windows firewall

[Guest]

I left this message before but it appears to have vanished from the
newsgroup. So I'll post it again.

I've bought Norton Internet Security 2005 and i'm unsure of how to disable
the windows firewall per instructions. I'm advised to right click on the
active connection icon (in control panel) and click on properties. I do this
(Im running AOL v9 with SP 2) but cannot open the properties dialouge box to
turn the windows firewall off.
My active connection icon tells me that im firewalled (and so does my
windows security centre). However my security settings with AOL 9 tell me im
not. Am I firewalled?, if so how do I turn it off?

go to control panel
windows firewall icon
click on unable

make sure you have logon as administrator.
if it does not work, go to services.msc on run window and look for windows
firewall service
then click stop service

If you go to Network Connections,r-click your connected NIC, properties, than
advanced, you can usually disable your firewall from here. If you are using a
connection manager (connects you to the internet and signs you in
automatically)you are at the mercy of AOL and should try contacting them to
see what they say.
